SO OVERLOOKED! This is still by far my favorite childhood cartoon. Just seeing the opening still gives me chills 30 years later! Thank you for this video (even with the tangents... loved the Transformers move as well).
This Cartoon was among one of my favorites in the 80’s. The artwork, animation and characters were off the chain. I’m a comic book artist and still pay homage to this series in my comic book.
My favorite episode is definitely the episode that focused on Bunji/Karate-1 and his heritage. Arguably one of the best animated shows in the short-lived franchise.
BLu-ray is out of the question. DVD will be the only format that sees release. Why? the masters for these episodes were done on video tape and the original film negatives long gone. You cannot restore to 1080P or 4K any master that is essentially a VHS tape. Shout found this out the hard way with Transformers and G.I. Joe.
I said the same when it popped up.they have done that a few times I noticed. On top of it this chick is lame.dryer than sand,Stop trying to be funny and snark....it’s annoying and it has nothing to do with the woman factor it’s just her. 👎🏾
They screwed up too as the real finale is the two part episode where Scarab finally captures The Bionic Six, takes over the White House, and forces the old man to choose a new team of bionic heroes some of which were villains with a good nature, the new team's mission is to rescue the The Bionic Six then collectively take down Scarab once and for all.
Finally a dedicated video on the Bionic Six on a major network. I hope they release a DVD or hopefully a blue ray of this show. Maybe Netflix can pick it up or make a movie.
That's their NPC & SJW Overlords fault, for not only pushing this detracting garble. But urging the hosts to _"be nuanced & funny"_ .. Which is A sick joke w/ in itself essentially.... Like All the subs & thumbs up they buy (or just get) from Google. To have *Their controlled [programming] video messages* pushed over & above non corporate, smaller, new media channels.
I'm 35 and after seeing that movie I couldn't watch it again for like ten years. Which FYI for those who want to know, I was six at the time. I remember this show, it came on early in the morning, like 6am where I lived and was fun to watch no doubt about it. Ah good times they were back then.
Seeing it on Cartoon Quest later in my life confirmed that it was a real show and that i didn't imagine it as a kid. No one i spoke to had heard of it.
A factiod you missed was that Frank Welker (Freddie Jones from Scooby-Do, Megatron, Soundwave and 6 other original Decepticons, Nibbler from Futurerama, as well as like 500 other credits) voiced both Glove and Chopper. Also, Dr Scarab's bionificator (you know, the thing that bionificates) wasn't quite up to code, and had a few kinks he didn't quite work out. His first attempt was Clunk (didn't work out), so he fiddled with it and made the other henchmen. Glove isn't an alien, he just happens to be purple since the machine was second-hand.
Interesting Factoid: Jennifer Darling, who supplied the voice for "Madame O", was also *Oscar Goldman's secretary Ms. Callahan* in both "The Six Million Dollar Man", and "The Bionic Woman"*
This is one of my top 3 cartoons I watched as a kid! I have watched through it about 4 times a few years ago thanks to a bootleg I bought about 10 years ago! For those who don't know it's incredibly well written, and is probably the most well produced cartoon of the 80's! My top episode's are "A Clean Slate" pts. 1 & 2. "Nightmare at Cypress Grove", and a few others I can't find the name of. But this show has an alarming amount of depth, and 90% of the episodes are just fantastic! Oh, and that last episode " That's all Folks" was a rare finale for those day and worthy of a great show!
Bionicsix ! Need a reboot they were awesome 😎... I love this cartoon for all the right and wrong reasons ! That toy line was epic as well ! Here’s to daydreaming they make a comeback ☺️
I’m 45 and I’d wake up every morning 5:50 am so I could catch Bionic 6 Mon-Fri 6am! I loved this cartoon! I used to put my fist to my watch before every sporting event! Lol
SyFy once upon a time aired these in the 90s. My favorite moments in Bionic 6 is when the introduce colorful characters the Kaleidoscope, Bandroids and my favorite, the Preceptor, who was once a scientist that helped develop the Bionic technology with Amadeus Sharp. He loses his eye sight via reckless testing on himself but gain super reflexes and other sensory factors minus his sight. He was the Daredevil/ Unabomber destroying technological facilities. “Humanity Shall Prevail”!
@@Halcyon4799 I agree, but if they made it now, it would look horrible. The animation in the 80's was hand drawn and shot frame by frame. It's expensive and time consuming, but by God, it shows in the quality!
Only if the reboot is picked up by Netflix or a streaming service that will do it justice. Network television would just twist it and try to turn it into another Teen titans go! clone.
I would agree only if they could stay faithful to the original, and leave politics out of it, not try to make this or that character out to be alternate orientation, or an illegal, or knocking gun rights, or trying to push socialism, or some other political stuff, none of that is important or adds to the story, just tell the story like they did with the original
The best moment in Bionic Six was when Scarab looked up and saw his "perfect mate" Mrs. Scarab, and she says "What are you staring at, you bald headed bag of blubber." That duo was like a 1980's version of Samurai Jack's Scotsman and his wife.
Reuben Joseph Magbanua yes. The plot to that show was so bad, and took advantage of our primal needs to see things blow up. Good guys from the air, the water and land. It was just pure guilty pleasure with a bowl of sugary cereal. Such a silly construction of heroes, seemed like a 12 year old thought them up. I think kids today would be underwhelmed.
I was a very young kid at the time and i sat in my mother's living room for many hours watching the Bionic six i love the music and the begining i wish those days never ended it was a better way of life ....
My favorite part in "Bionic 6" is when they stopped the Chicxulub Impact Event which killed the dinosaurs. Unfortunately, they also left behind a piece of mildly radioactive science-tech that poisoned the atmosphere...and killed the dinosaurs.
I remember being 7 years old sitting on the floor in my parents' living room eating cereal and watching this. I can still see my dad coming in, looking at me and saying "what are you doing up? It's not even 7." "Bionic Six is on, Dad."
Fun Fact: Frank Welker voiced Glove, Mechanic and Chopper. The company probably didn't hire enough voice actors. Anyway, Professor Sharp and Dr. Scarab are brothers and Dr. Scarab's real name is Wilbur.
@@CapitanJusticia first of all I didn't have rich parents. second the toyline wasn't that big so the thirteen figures and a few vehicles didn't ended up costing as much as you think. all together it probably came out to a little over a hundred dollars. also like I said it was for Christmas and my father saved up to get me something nice.
Bionic Six is an amazing series that has somehow, like Adventures of the Galaxy Rangers, slipped by many people's radar. Both series were highlights of the 80s cartoon era because they had better than average animation quality. They were also filled with a lot of great characters that fit into the "everyone has role" template very well. Unfortunately, while Galaxy Rangers got DVD releases, to best of my knowledge, Bionic Six never has. It's still a sore point even with the entire series recorded to VHS.
Yeah, Galaxy Rangers's theme is just EPIC I wonder if their afraid of a lawsuit because the show had a character named Logan who draws quite the parallel to Marvel's Logan AKA Wolverine and that's why the show doesn't try for say a movie or a reboot Logan is a heavy reason behind much of the show's drama.
To this day, after watching thousands of animations, the sequence where the Sky Dancer comes out of his underwater hangar is one of the coolest sequences. In fact in the intro there is a super-charged shot of it.
Anyone remember Perceptor? He was a blind guy who's bionics gave him super senses. He rescued the Bionic 6 in one episode. I thought he as cool af. Yes, I knew he was a DD knock off, but I didn't care.
Those little die-cast action figures weighed a ton. I think I had FLUFFY in my collection or maybe a friend did. Would love to see a video on Silverhawks if you haven't done one yet.
I used to bike to my friend’s house just to watch her VHS recording of it off TV. I loved it so much and ordered a copy of the series off eBay but the quality isn’t great 😒😥. I would love to see a quality DVD copy of the whole series.
I loved this show so much growing up. I love that theme tune even now, even though it is a little cringe now, i would love to watch it again - i can't find it anywhere
I never seemed to be around when it came on as a kid in the 80s. I saw a couple of episodes and instantly liked it though. I even tried using TV guide to catch it but always lost track of time hanging outside with me friends.
I never got tired of hearing The Bionic 6 theme song or watching there Bionic transformations I just wish a toy line for their rings and BioGauntlets would have hit the scene back when the show was on 😢
I learn something today, Toy Galaxy : cool vj, funny, simple editing, low budget. SyfyWire : beautiful vj, great editing, informative script, good lighting, high budget. Personally I think editing is essential. Syfy had a great editing.
How did they not point out the theme of family with Dr. Sharp and Dr. Scarab being brothers? It was their rivalry that pushed the show. Netflix needs to get on this. Also, Power Rangers stole their power activation gimmick.
My favourite episodes are: When they go to a dimension full of heroes but without any villain. Every time the heroes capture Scarab and his gang, they immediately release them because a world without villains is boring for superheroes. Until the Family find a dimension full of villains and mix both worlds. Every hero finds his appropriate counter match and they lived happily ever after. The other is the final episode simply because it's awesome.
Fun fact: SYFY (back when it was still Sci-Fi Channel) introduced me to Bionic Six. It used to air on it's "Animation Station" in the mid 90s with "Galaxy High", "TerraHawks", "Defenders of the Earth", etc... . Doesn't that mean SYFY may have episodes sitting around somewhere they could re-air or give to a company to put on Blu-ray/DVD??? The videos they're using even have the old Sci-Fi Channel logo.
I loved this show when it came out, the eighties had some really great cartoons...one of my faves was Mighty Orbots. I know it was a bit cheesy, but it had great animation and their theme song was every bit as awesome as the Bionic Six.
Wow I loved Bionic 6 intro when I was a 12 years old school boy I just think that the world will look like what happened in the show think you very much for a worm reminder of happy times of my childhood
OMG!!! YO!!! This made my day!!! My comment is on this SyFy Wire video!! Thank you SyFy Wire!!! Awesome!!! So much potential for a reboot. I'm calling it!!!
Best thing about the show was the 6 minute pilot/promo short. Hopefully if they every release it on DVD or Bluray they include it. ...but I won't hold my breath.
One of the greatest things of being born in the balkans is growing up with older cartoons (mostly 80s;90s) due to them being cheaper to buy for tv stations.
My fave Episodes were the two parter where the B6 got captured, and Dr Sharpe had to gather all the other bionic characters to save the day. They became the Bionic 12!
Mighty Orbots, Galaxy Rangers and Bionic Six were shows that came out before their time. They would be a hit now if Netflix gave them the Voltron treatment.
My last gf was ten years younger than me and loved anime and I put Mighty Orbots on for her and it absolutely blew her mind at how good the animation was. She fell in love with it, this, and Galaxy Rangers. I tried with Inhumanoids, but that crashed. LOL Can't win them all.
One of my favorite shows of all time :) ... All thou, the german dub of it is really really good and unique like the original dub. Funfact: In the german dub it was.. Bionic 1 Bionic 2 Rocky I.Q Kamikaze Baseball Also ist was Hubert the real Name of Dr. Scarab ^^ And best moment..? Uh that´s a toughie... But i guess when Scarab says "You were worried about me? I am sorry Mechanic" ;)
And don't forget we changed the name of the Show to Die Sechs-Millionen-Dollar-Familie (The Six Million Dollar Family) to become closer to The Six Million Dollar Man
I'm 41 years old and to this day I still do the "Bionics ON!" motion before every workout. I am a SUPER geek.
Like me😆
I'm 42 and remember getting Bionic 1 as a Christmas gift.
I'm 47 and I do the same thing
🤣🤣🤣I’m 46 and I do the same thing
Get in the line 😂 i am 44
Bionic 6 was one of the best cartoons out at the time. Definitely would’ve been huge if they would’ve gotten a fair shot.
SO OVERLOOKED! This is still by far my favorite childhood cartoon. Just seeing the opening still gives me chills 30 years later! Thank you for this video (even with the tangents... loved the Transformers move as well).
This cartoon is still remembered by many since childhood, and I am one of them. A beautiful time. I hope to return to it with all its details
This Cartoon was among one of my favorites in the 80’s. The artwork, animation and characters were off the chain. I’m a comic book artist and still pay homage to this series in my comic book.

Trans8010 whichever one works best.
Yes ......remastered classic it would be!!!
@@h.godftw6498 There can be only one format, and that would be DVD.
Ok people, i get it... i never argued it, DVD it is... there... settled... alright? 🤷🏾♂️
How is it that Toy Galaxy does a video on this nearly forgotten show, and then SyFy does one a week later? Hmmm.....
I said the same when it popped up.they have done that a few times I noticed. On top of it this chick is lame.dryer than sand,Stop trying to be funny and snark....it’s annoying and it has nothing to do with the woman factor it’s just her. 👎🏾
Nimisiskrash really?? What other videos did you notice?
They have also copied Retroblasting as well.
Thank you, my thought exactly.
They screwed up too as the real finale is the two part episode where Scarab finally captures The Bionic Six, takes over the White House, and forces the old man to choose a new team of bionic heroes some of which were villains with a good nature, the new team's mission is to rescue the The Bionic Six then collectively take down Scarab once and for all.
Finally a dedicated video on the Bionic Six on a major network. I hope they release a DVD or hopefully a blue ray of this show. Maybe Netflix can pick it up or make a movie.
Bionic Six: Everything You Didn't Know - Here's a list of things the staff and cast worked on completely unrelated to Bionic Six!
This video takes too many tangents away from the Bionic Six cartoon.
Scott Johnson yes, and it’s very annoying
That's their NPC & SJW Overlords fault, for not only pushing this detracting garble. But urging the hosts to _"be nuanced & funny"_ .. Which is A sick joke w/ in itself essentially....

It's like a kid with ADD telling you about the show.
@@alexsummers1 At least Toy Galaxy stays on topic.
@@snarferyasmr3739 I have ADHD so I know what you mean. LOL
I'm 36 and I still shed a tear when the death of Optimus happens.
O R
You too😯

OR, petroglyph; I'm 50 and when I see Optimus die I get a lump in my throat and then the waterworks start.
My dad owned the original VHS. Good times, good times
I'm right there with ya, and I'm 43, lol.
Also ran on the Sci-Fi Channel’s Sci-Fi Cartoon Quest back in the 90’s. Toy Galaxy got the jump on you, now put this out on DVD Universal.
Yup I remember sci fi network would show anime movies Saturday mornings and transformers and bionic six weekday mornings back to back in the 90s
Seeing it on Cartoon Quest later in my life confirmed that it was a real show and that i didn't imagine it as a kid. No one i spoke to had heard of it.
I probably would've liked a Netflix reboot of 'Bionic Six' by Dreamworks, but then 'She-Ra' happened....

I, Scarab was my favorite episodes, a really cool two-parter where Scarab conquers the world and the Bionic Six are captured
Absolutely awesome episode

I agree 100%
Bionic 6 Netflix movie or series please.
That would be fucking awesome
Mr. Pitts i thought of this EXACT thing just now. Thanks for posting.
I agree
Also bring back Force Five Cartoons
I used to feel this way, but only if the quality can surpass the original in terms of animation, otherwise leave them alone.
The best moment in Bionic Six was when Scarab looked up and saw his "perfect mate" Mrs. Scarab, and she says "What are you staring at, you bald headed bag of blubber." That duo was like a 1980's version of Samurai Jack's Scotsman and his wife.
This show is definitely underrated. One of my favorites.
It’s not just underrated, to me it was second only to ninja turtles, I loved it better than g i joe, transformers, thunder cats … etc
I loved me some Bionic Six, especially the theme song. It was so much fun to play on my keyboard.
Could you guys do The Centurions? Remember that?
Yesssssss!
Yes
Power extreme!
Ace McCloud!

My favorite part in "Bionic 6" is when they stopped the Chicxulub Impact Event which killed the dinosaurs. Unfortunately, they also left behind a piece of mildly radioactive science-tech that poisoned the atmosphere...and killed the dinosaurs.

In the German version Sport-1 was called Baseball. And they called him Baseball, even in his civilian clothe.

I think u meant Wilmer not Wilbur.
@Adelaine Delabin Welker is the king and still going strong

I loved this cartoon as a kid and got the entire toyline for Christmas that year.
Must be nice to have rich parents.

What I loved about Galaxy Rangers was Star Trek meets Gunsmoke, with a Clint Eastwood style character thrown in for good measure.
Yeah, Galaxy Rangers's theme is just EPIC I wonder if their afraid of a lawsuit because the show had a character named Logan who draws quite the parallel to Marvel's Logan AKA Wolverine and that's why the show doesn't try for say a movie or a reboot Logan is a heavy reason behind much of the show's drama.
2 great shows.
You all should do Galaxy Ranger's. It was a good show and had an epic 80's Thame song.
REALLY appreciated this segment, didn't know much about it always loved the animation though and I wish it got a DVD release... 😩
To this day, after watching thousands of animations, the sequence where the Sky Dancer comes out of his underwater hangar is one of the coolest sequences. In fact in the intro there is a super-charged shot of it.
Since you did Bionic 6, which I do appreciate you have got to do Galaxy Rangers!
Galaxy High should be next , 80’s classic
Anyone remember Perceptor? He was a blind guy who's bionics gave him super senses. He rescued the Bionic 6 in one episode. I thought he as cool af. Yes, I knew he was a DD knock off, but I didn't care.
I remember Perceptor the Autobot!
Thank you! I wrote that episode of The Bionic Six (and 9 others).
Band Droids Band Droids we know what to do We are The Band Droids We platy ourselves for you
How can you forget this tidbit that Dr.Scarab and Prof. Amadeus Sharp were BROTHERS!
FLUFFY was the most common Bionic 6 toy available in canada, apparently. whereas the TMNT Krang's Body figure was very hard to find in some areas.
Those little die-cast action figures weighed a ton. I think I had FLUFFY in my collection or maybe a friend did. Would love to see a video on Silverhawks if you haven't done one yet.
I had the mechanic from the vad guys side
My favorite episode is when they tell the origin of The Perceptor in Season 1, episode 20 (The Perceptor File).
I love this show as a kid!!! I would watch this before I would go to school back in the day... Had all the toys as well!!!
10 minutes of nothing 5 minutes of facts
Wow she went off on SOOOOOO MANY tangents
Im 42 I loved this
I'm 42, too, and I also loved, and still love it!
I used to bike to my friend’s house just to watch her VHS recording of it off TV. I loved it so much and ordered a copy of the series off eBay but the quality isn’t great 😒😥. I would love to see a quality DVD copy of the whole series.
My favorite episode is when the Bionic Six go to the alternate dimensions full of heroes/villains.
Thanks
Hey, great! Thanks! I wrote that episode.
Loved the last episode of this series. Sad that the show ended so soon. 😢
I loved this show so much growing up. I love that theme tune even now, even though it is a little cringe now, i would love to watch it again - i can't find it anywhere
Have you done Galaxy Rangers? No Guts No Glory!
Been preaching a treatment of this for 5 years! Movie trilogy is ready!
I never forgot about Bionic 6. I watched every episode. I wish they would do a movie.
I remember watching this back when this was on and I really liked as a kid. I would love to see a reboot of this on syfy or netflix.
I never seemed to be around when it came on as a kid in the 80s. I saw a couple of episodes and instantly liked it though. I even tried using TV guide to catch it but always lost track of time hanging outside with me friends.
13:06 Pretty sure Bionic Six aired on the SciFi Channel in the early 90s. That's how I last saw it on TV!
So you noticed the planet symbol on the bottom of the screen.
@@rstyeast73 Now I can't unsee it. Whoops!
I never got tired of hearing The Bionic 6 theme song or watching there Bionic transformations I just wish a toy line for their rings and BioGauntlets would have hit the scene back when the show was on 😢
I love this show so much! Good grief the fun times I had watching this show.
This show C.O.P.S. and M.A.S.K. Needs a reboot by Netflix
I remember the episode where Sport One got to try out for the NY Yankees. And being a Yankees fan, I loved seeing Yankee Stadium in a cartoon I loved!
One of my favorite childhood cartoons!! Wish they came out with a movie!!!
Hands down one of my fav Alt cartoons growing up. This and Silver Hawks
I learn something today,
Toy Galaxy : cool vj, funny, simple editing, low budget.
SyfyWire : beautiful vj, great editing, informative script, good lighting, high budget.
Personally I think editing is essential. Syfy had a great editing.
How did they not point out the theme of family with Dr. Sharp and Dr. Scarab being brothers? It was their rivalry that pushed the show. Netflix needs to get on this.
Also, Power Rangers stole their power activation gimmick.
Wish someone would officially release this on dvd already!
Would be great if syfy channel would do Saturday morning cartoons. BRING THE CLASSICS BACK!!
Chopper was the best baddie. Dude would make rev up noises like a little kid every other sentence
My favourite episodes are:
When they go to a dimension full of heroes but without any villain.
Every time the heroes capture Scarab and his gang, they immediately release them because a world without villains is boring for superheroes.
Until the Family find a dimension full of villains and mix both worlds.
Every hero finds his appropriate counter match and they lived happily ever after.
The other is the final episode simply because it's awesome.
Just a guess, are the people making your programming decisions big Toy Galaxy fans 'cuz...
True but I’m just happy B6 gets any exposure
Fun fact: SYFY (back when it was still Sci-Fi Channel) introduced me to Bionic Six. It used to air on it's "Animation Station" in the mid 90s with "Galaxy High", "TerraHawks", "Defenders of the Earth", etc... .

Bionic, Bionic Six!
Ooh ooh oohooh
Alan Oppenheimer played Rudy Wells a few times before getting replaced by Martin E. Brooks who took yhw6wheel all the way up to Bionically Ever After.
Bionic Six was one of my favorite cartoons
Now this is what family bonding is all about.
The family that fights evil together stays together.
I really really love the sequence where the Sky Dancer (their awesome plane) take off.
Wow I loved Bionic 6 intro when I was a 12 years old school boy I just think that the world will look like what happened in the show think you very much for a worm reminder of happy times of my childhood

Yes! Bring those Bonic Six back!
One of the greatest things of being born in the balkans is growing up with older cartoons (mostly 80s;90s) due to them being cheaper to buy for tv stations.
My fave Episodes were the two parter where the B6 got captured, and Dr Sharpe had to gather all the other bionic characters to save the day. They became the Bionic 12!
Bionic Six was "The Show", back in the day. ✊🏾🐻
Bring all these back so these kids could see what real cartoons were like.
"Bionic 6... what can we say?... so, we're gonna fill in some time with Transformers.... Bionic 6!"
8:54 Brian Tochi also voiced Leonardo in the 90s live-action "TMNT" movies.
Mighty Orbots, Galaxy Rangers and Bionic Six were shows that came out before their time. They would be a hit now if Netflix gave them the Voltron treatment.
Just have Netflix air them. If it ain't broke...
My last gf was ten years younger than me and loved anime and I put Mighty Orbots on for her and it absolutely blew her mind at how good the animation was. She fell in love with it, this, and Galaxy Rangers.
I tried with Inhumanoids, but that crashed. LOL Can't win them all.
I loved this show. Looked forward to every episode.
Speak for yourself gal!...l remember all my cartoons, 70s & 80s. The best times, nuff said.
I remember eating eggos watching this loved this😮😀👍flashbacks
One of my favorite shows of all time :) ... All thou, the german dub of it is really really good and unique like the original dub.
Funfact: In the german dub it was..
Bionic 1
Bionic 2
Rocky
I.Q
Kamikaze
Baseball
Also ist was Hubert the real Name of Dr. Scarab ^^ And best moment..? Uh that´s a toughie...
But i guess when Scarab says "You were worried about me? I am sorry Mechanic" ;)
And don't forget we changed the name of the Show to Die Sechs-Millionen-Dollar-Familie (The Six Million Dollar Family) to become closer to The Six Million Dollar Man
Bionic Six great.
Brings back memories.
